Pew Internet and American Life Project has been studying all thing related to the internet for a long time. One of the most recent studies looks at how the internet has impacted social relationships and how it might impact social relationships in the future. Below is a link to the survey results, and an excerpt from the report:

"While they acknowledge that use of the internet as a tool for communications can yield both positive and negative effects, a significant majority of technology experts and stakeholders participating in the fourth Future of the Internet survey say it improves social relations and will continue to do so through 2020"

"The highly engaged, diverse set of respondents to an online, opt-in survey included 895 technology stakeholders and critics. The study was fielded by the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project and Elon University’s Imagining the Internet Center."

About

This blog is one of my on-line filing cabinets, open to the world, focusing on off-the-desktop natural user interfaces, interactive systems, interaction design, and user experience.

What is the interface? Real-world locations and public spaces (airports, shopping centers, lobbies, buildings, plazas, parks, etc.), educational or social networks and settings, as well as virtual worlds - simulations, games, VR, or augmented reality - just about anything humans interact with in their daily lives.
